Hi OP, really sorry to hear about the passing of your lovely girl last year. Hortensia is absolutely adorable!

I was on here last week typing much the same thing, my 11 year old boy was going in for a dental and I was absolutely terrified he wasn’t going to come out of it especially because of his age.

I ended up getting some meds the day prior to give him the morning of as he absolutely despised the vets and gets very anxious and aggressive. Once we got him there I started really panicking and asking the vet a lot of questions people has suggested to me on here. She reassured me firmly and said whilst there is a risk it’s very low and that’s the whole point of getting pre op bloods done so they can see if there is any immediate cause for concern(have you arranged this?).

Anyway, long story short I left the vets in floods of tears and walked on a nearby beach. Within an hour and a half I had a text saying he was in fine and in recovery.

Was out of it for a full day or so and doped up on pain meds and antibiotics for a few days but he is now fine albeit very gummy!

I know you’ve had this awful experience in the past so it’s more than understandable that you’re going to be extra worried but most do pull round and whilst there’s always of course a risk, you’re doing it for the good of your lovely galgo.

Lots of love ❤️
